Frequently asked questions.
What is mancation?
MANCATION is a one-of-a-kind destination built to reconnect people with challenge, camaraderie, and the outdoors. Through hands-on experiences, skill-building, and adventure, we help guests rediscover purpose, confidence, and capability in a modern world that’s lost touch with both.
Who can attend?
Although the original “MANCATION” trips started as all-male retreats, MANCATION now welcomes anyone who seeks growth through challenge. Our doors are open to men, women, and kids who want to push limits, learn real-world survival and performance skills, and connect with others doing the same.
what kind of experiences or skills will i learn?
Depending on the program, you’ll experience a mix of survival skills, physical challenges, mental toughness training, and team-based outdoor activities. We focus on both personal growth and practical ability…whether that means fire-building, navigation, strength work, or mindset development.
do i need any experience to join?
No prior experience is needed…just a willingness to show up and give your best. Every MANCATION event is designed for all fitness and skill levels, with expert guidance to ensure you’re challenged but never left behind. We meet you where you’re at and help you leave better than you arrived.
